Two Cheeks on the Same Ass

Submitted with only this comment:

The establishment on both parties knows how the Dems lost the House and Senate after the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban and again in 2010 with as an answer to the first term of Obama. They will have much to lose if they try and push for it now. Which is why I say now that pressure needs to be put on the knee jerk, tearful handwringing of the establishment politicians (of both flavors), but not to go and sell you car to stock up on stripped receivers.

The canary in the coal mine is if the DNC is willing to truly push for additional gun legislation and so abdicate more seats in the House and Senate. Any national disenfranchisement our firearm rights will be met with resounding defeats everywhere except for the deeply established colonies of big "S" socialist elitism, (i.e. NYC, LA, Chicago, Baltimore, San Fran, etc.). If they are, they have abandoned any pretense that things will things will continue on the two part path. The two state cold war we have currently enjoy will get lots and lots warmer.

Its pretty obvious to me that the much feared civil war is much closer than people expected. I think recent events and comments by the Obama administration has made that much pretty clear. So the rhetorical question that keeps being asked, where do the cops and miltary fall on the obviously ANTI AMERICAN AND ANTI CONSTITUTIONAL actions and directives concerning gun control. Will they fire on citizens who will not comply with the agenda, and better yet will citizens actually stand up and FIGHT FOR THEIR LIVES AND RIGHTS?

I like your "cold war" analogy, Matthew, and have been using it a lot lately. CWIII has already begun. it's just smoldering, and I hope that's all it takes to make the plutocrats back off and call off their dogs. but I doubt it.

Late news (06/15) says that both Dems and GOP support restricting gun sales to people on the TERROR Watch List. As long as that list contains only those shown to have ties to middle-eastern terror organizations, I wouldn't sell them guns, either. The biggest problem with terror in the U.S. is those extremely dangerous gun-free zones. Most states forbid even carry-permit-holders from carrying a gun into a place whose primary purpose is to serve alcohol. So, the Orlando night club was likely a gun-free zone. Terrorists classify a gun-free zone as a soft target and will attack such places first. One of the best things we can do for defense against terrorists is to eliminate gun-free zones.

I have only anecdotal evidence from a few friends I've talked with, but I think any gun-grabbing scheme will crash on the rocks when it comes to law-abiding people who have no economic options but to live in the inner cities of Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, etc. I do not think they will be easily divested of any firearms they might own, legal or otherwise. They know all too well that the 'authorities' trying to disarm them would have no compunction about leaving them defenseless against the storm.

Please do not fall for the "it's only for people on the suspected terror watch list with ties to the middle east" lie...That's BULLBLEEP!

That's just the "Camels nose in the tent" . The FBI and SPLC have both said ( Paraphrasing ), "Christians, Liberty Lovers, Those who criticize government and Second Amendment supporters are a bigger Domestic Terror threat than islamists.

If they get this legislation, the FBI will quickly stage some massive "False Flags" with us as the perpertrators and we will rapidly replace the islamists as the main enemy on the Terror Watch list.

I agree, we cannot allow the passage of such a gun ban, regardless of what has been bantered about. Everyone who disagrees with government could end up on the "watch list". Never forget that gov will always take any law and stretch it to the extreme given the slightest chance. There is a lot about the Orlando shooting that only makes sense if you seek a reason to disarm the American people, and it should not be the basis for any new legislation.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

On the efficacy of passive resistance in the face of the collectivist beast. . .

"Smash the bloody mirror."

If you find yourself through the looking glass, where the verities of the world you knew and loved no longer apply, there is only one thing to do. Knock the Red Queen on her ass, turn around, and smash the bloody mirror. -- Mike Vanderboegh

"I believe that being despised by the despicable is as good as being admired by the admirable."

From long experience myself, I can only say, "You betcha."

"Only cowards dare cringe."

The fears of man are many. He fears the shadow of death and the closed doors of the future. He is afraid for his friends and for his sons and of the specter of tomorrow. All his life's journey he walks in the lonely corridors of his controlled fears, if he is a man. For only fools will strut, and only cowards dare cringe. -- James Warner Bellah, "Spanish Man's Grave" in Reveille, Curtis Publishing, 1947.

"We fight an enemy that never sleeps."

"As our enemies work bit by bit to deconstruct, we must work bit by bit to REconstruct. Be mindful where we should be. Set goals. We fight an enemy that never sleeps. We must learn to sleep less." -- Mike H. at What McAuliffe Said

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
